Design Tools for Zero-Net Mass-Flux Separation Control Devices
Abstract
This report discusses the fundamental dynamics of zero-net mass flux (ZNMF) actuators commonly used in active flow-control applications. The present work addresses unresolved technical issues by providing a clear physical understanding of how these devices behave in a quiescent medium and interact with an external boundary layer by developing and validating reduced-order models. The results are expected to ultimately aid in the analysis and development of design tools for ZNMF actuators in flow-control applications.
